  • Multi-channel Stochastic Resource Allocation and Dynamic Access Scheduling

    Creator:
    Wang, Qiwei
    Abstract:
    Modern communication systems often have the ability to transmit signals on multiple communication mediums (e.g., RF, visible light) or interfaces (e.g., MAC layer protocols) at the same time. While each channel has different characteristics, a centralized controller with channel condition information will be able to schedule the resource allocated to...

  • Receiver synchronization for UWB TDOA localization

    Creator:
    Baek, Seungjin
    Abstract:
    Pulsed ultra-wideband (UWB) radio uses extremely short pulses to transmit information. Such pulses provide very fine timing information, which has led to technological advances in high-precision localization. This thesis investigates UWB localization strategies with a focus on receiver synchronization algorithms for time-difference-of-arrival localization to achieve centimeter accuracies in a 3-dimensional...

  • Ultra-wideband indoor localization systems

    Creator:
    Ye, Ruiqing
    Abstract:
    Indoor localization systems have a variety of applications such as tracking of assets, indoor robot navigation, and monitoring of people (e.g. patients) in hospitals or at home. Global positioning system (GPS) offers location accuracy of several meters and is mainly used for outdoor location-based applications as its accuracy degrades significantly...

  • Transmission and Combining for Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request in Multiple-Input Multiple-Output Systems

    Creator:
    Whang, Younghoon
    Abstract:
    Hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) schemes combine packet retransmission with forward error correction to ensure a reliable communications. In multiple-input multiple output (MIMO) systems, interference cancellation (IC) detection is widely used where the detection and cancellation steps of the simultaneously transmitted data streams occur. In principle, the signal stream estimated...

  • Energy-efficient, short-range ultra-wideband radio transceivers

    Creator:
    Hu, Changhui
    Abstract:
    Short-range wireless communications continually attract interest from both industry and academia, and it is changing our life in every aspect in the last decade. The design of wireless transceivers is the bottleneck for variety applications, due to RF modeling inaccuracy, stringent FCC regulations over the transmitted power spectrum, interference, multi-path...

  • Radiation effects in III-V heterojunction bipolar transistors

    Creator:
    Vuppala, Soujanya
    Abstract:
    Electron and neutron irradiation effects in InGaP/GaAs single heterojunction bipolar transistors are investigated in this thesis. Devices with different emitter sizes and grown by two different growth techniques were examined. Based on the physics of heterojunction bipolar transistors and concepts of radiation damage mechanisms, the irradiation effects were analyzed. The...

  • A Novel CCRW Receiver with Variable Width Window for Mitigating Multipath and Ambiguity in GNSS Positioning

    Creator:
    Alhussein, Fahad
    Abstract:
    This work presents a novel CCRW receiver that utilizes a window of variable width, for e˙ectively mitigating multipath and ambiguity in both civil and military positioning applica-tions using Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). This CCRW receiver incorporates a single stroboscopic window, whose width is iteratively reduced until the e˙ect of...

  • Radiation effects in III-V compound semiconductor heterostructure devices

    Creator:
    Li, ChyiShiun
    Abstract:
    The radiation effects in III-V heterojunction devices are investigated in this thesis. Two types of heterojunction devices studied are InGaP/GaAs single heterojunction bipolar transistors (SHBTs) and GaN-based heterojunction light emitting diodes (LEDs). InGaP/GaAS HBTs are investigated for high energy (67 and 105 MeV) proton irradiation effects while GaN heterojunction LEDs...
